Hi all,
The British Science Association wants to empower many more people – not just scientists – to constructively engage in debates over science’s role in their lives, their local economy, and the UK’s future. To make sure these conversations are happening at a local level, we plan to work with organisations on our Future Debates series (http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/future-debates), to run debates across the country. We want to find out what people think of a big issue in science and technology that could potentially have a significant impact on our society. Each year, Future Debates will focus on a particular issue. Our topic for this year is Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS).
To support these events, event organisers can apply for grants of up to £300 to organise a debate around the topic of Robotics and Autonomous Systems. The events must be held between October 2015 and February 2016.
More information about the project, including grant guidelines, can be found on our website. The British Science Association is also able to provide support with finding speakers for your event.
Requests for funding will close on the 30th of September, and we hope to make decisions in early October. Please do get in touch ([log in to unmask]) if you have any questions. I would also be grateful if you could pass on this information to your colleagues, and anyone in your networks who might be interested.
Best wishes,
Sabah Adams
Engagement Officer
British Science Association
